Our Story

Born on the trail, Jackpack Gear started with two brothers—Aden and Eli—and their dad Michael (a surgeon with wilderness search-and-rescue experience) solving a simple problem: when the sun comes out, where does the jacket go; their answer is a rugged soft-shell that carries itself, converting to a secure waist carry in seconds so families can keep moving—playful, practical, built for real-world use.

Learn the Essentials

Quick, no-fluff guides on Water, Heat/Signal, and Fire—practical basics you can apply with your pocket-fit kit.

Water

In the wild, you can survive a month without food. Without water, you might not survive the weekend.

Signal

You can’t be found if you can’t be seen or heard.

Fire

When darkness falls and the cold closes in, whether we see the morning may rest on one ancient refuge - fire.

Shelter

In the backcountry, people don’t die of “cold”—they die because they’re wet, in the wind, and not protected.

Light

Your light has three jobs: help you see, keep you safe, and make you seen.
